The verdict
Why it scored a 82
At $169 — $30 under Shark's list price — the SpeedStyle Pro replaces the discontinued Flex model, and Value and Satisfaction lead the score on the same 1,750W motor and heat-regulated airflow. Features is where it gives up ground: this non-folding version drops the Flex's fold-flat handle and its DefrizzFast diffuser and QuickSmooth brush, shipping with only the Turbo Concentrator. The 2-year warranty helps offset that, but it's still the softer of the six factors here.
